Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for communicating pixelated data of an image to a plurality of persons grouped within a geographical area, e.g. an audience or spectators, for example as used in concerts or sports events, and in particular concerns a system and method such that user equipment effectively forms part of a light emitting display device for displaying the image.
  • WO 93/12614 describes an audience response system in which each audience member is provided with a reflective device which is, for example, green on one side and red on the other side. Light from a spotlight is reflected from the reflective devices and imaged by a conventional video camera. A computer receives the digitised and processed image, forms a map of the audience, and distinguishes the red from the green reflections. This data is then used by the computer to project an image onto a screen visible to the audience, the image being controlled by the red or green image reflections. The audience thus jointly controls the screen image, for instance for purposes of voting or playing a game. The system can also detect movement (direction and/or velocities) of each radiation source which data is aggregated and thereby manipulates the screen image. Also, the sources each may transmit coded information, such as Morse code or ASCII, to individually identify themselves.
  • coded information such as Morse code or ASCII
  • the present invention provides a method for communicating data suitable for use with a plurality of persons grouped within a geographical area, each person being at a location within the geographical area.
  • the method comprises providing a plurality of persons with an individual lighting module, and communicating data to each of the lighting modules.
  • the data communicated relates to an image to be displayed by a combination of the lighting modules.
  • the data is thus pixelated data in an image.
  • the image is provided from an image source such as an image generator and parts of the image are distributed among the individual lighting modules, e.g. via wireless communication. This way, the audience user equipment formed by the individual lighting modules forms part of the display device.
  • the lighting modules may be LED modules, which is power efficient, as LED modules consume only little power. Therefore, the lighting modules can easily be battery-operated.
  • the lighting modules may be multi-colour lighting modules, e.g. RGB modules. In this case, multi-colour images can be shown.
  • the lighting modules may be monochrome modules, in which case "black and white” (depending on the colour of light emitted by the modules) or binary images may be shown.
  • the images shown may be patterns, for example moving patterns, e.g. a white line from the centre of the hall towards the outer border of the hall is displayed and is rotating over 360° around the hall. On top of the display of the line, acts or movements of the persons may be requested, e.g. in case of the rotating line, the persons that see their lighting module turn on have to raise their hands, which will produce a Mexican wave effect.
  • the method may furthermore comprise determining the position of the individual lighting modules before communicating data to each of the lighting modules. Determining the position of the individual lighting modules may be performed by the lighting modules themselves, e.g. by using GPS positioning information. Alternatively, determining the position of the individual lighting modules may comprise detecting and localising the lighting modules. This detecting and localising may comprise communicating between neighbouring lighting modules so as to obtain identification data of neighbouring lighting modules. Alternatively, this detecting and localising may comprise using a camera or scanning light sensor for observing the plurality of persons. According to still an alternative embodiment, this detecting and localising the lighting modules may comprise using a transmitter sending a signal upon reception of which the lighting modules respond by sending their unique identification data. According to yet another alternative embodiment, the detecting and localising may comprise using a global positioning system.
  • Communicating data to each of the lighting modules may comprise sending complete image information to each lighting module which extracts information corresponding to its determined position. This way of working makes data transfer easier, as the data transferred is the same for each lighting module.
  • Communicating data to each of the lighting modules may comprise sending complete information to each lighting module with geographical co-ordinates encoded therein. Geographical co-ordinates encoded in the information allow a device to extract the right information, i.e. the information the lighting module needs to display, from the complete image information.
  • An advantage of transmitting with the data the geographical co-ordinates to which the data applies is that the user equipment itself, i.e. the lighting module, decides whether or not it is in the relevant area, and if so, displays the information.
  • communicating data to each of the lighting modules may comprise sending to each lighting module image information corresponding to its determined position.
  • location dependent data can be sent to people moving inside their group, e.g. moving audience or spectator members. This has the advantage that only limited data transfer to each lighting module takes place.
  • a method according to embodiments of the present invention may furthermore comprise synchronising data communicated to each of the lighting modules. This way, all lighting modules show part of the same image at the same time and less distortions during
  • the present invention provides a display system for displaying an image.
  • the display system comprises a transmission unit and a plurality of individual lighting modules adapted for being provided to a plurality of persons.

  • the display system furthermore comprises means for determining the position of the individual lighting modules.
  • the lighting modules are adapted for receiving data from the transmission unit and for displaying at least part of this received data as a pixel of the image to be displayed depending on the determined position of the lighting modules.
  • the means for determining the position of the individual lighting modules may be external to the lighting modules.
  • the means for determining the position of the individual lighting modules may be internal to the lighting modules.
  • the lighting modules may be LED modules.
  • the lighting modules may be multi-colour lighting modules, such as e.g. RGB modules.
  • the lighting modules may be movable. They may be portable by a person.
  • the display system according to the present invention furthermore may comprise synchronisation means for synchronising display of the data received by the lighting modules (200).

  • the transmission unit 602 comprises a central controller 604 and a first data communication means 605 for communicating data relating to an image to be displayed by a combination of receiving units 200.
  • An image is provided by an image source such as a digital representation of an image, e.g. stored in memory or on a storage device such as an optical disk, solid state memory, tape or magnetic disk or the image is generated by an image generator.

  • the transmission unit 602 by means of its first data communication means 605, communicates data to each lighting module 200 where such data is relevant to each lighting module 200 at that time and for the current application.
